Best Chicken Soup Ever

This is my recipe for the best tasting chicken soup ever!
You may want to substitute 1/2 chicken broth 1/2 water
when adding liquid vs. all water for extra flavor for soup.

Ingredients:
4-5 pounds chicken parts
5 carrots
3 parsnips
4 stalks of celery
2 leeks
Sprig of dill or parsley
2 1/2 quarts of water
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions::
Wash and clean chicken. Remove extra fat.
Clean carrots and parsnips, and split cut.
Clean celery and split cut.
Cut off leek ends and top dark green leaves.
Split cut leek.
In a pot, combine chicken, leeks, celery, carrots, parsnips.
Add approximately 2 1/2 quarts of water,
so that water just covers over ingredients.
Add dill to pot. Bring soup to boil.
Then simmer in pot for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
